Family life gets busy. Between work, school and everything else, families don’t always get enough time to sit down, talk and enjoy each other.

The Pee Dee Community Action Partnership Strengthening Families Program (SFP) gives families that time.

For 11 weeks, parents, caregivers, children and teens come together to eat, learn, talk, laugh and build skills they can use at home.

Pee Dee Community Action Partnership delivers the Strengthening Families Program in Marion and Dillon counties in partnership with Children’s Trust of South Carolina, with support from Absolute Total Care and our community partners. Our mission is to strengthen families and help individuals and communities throughout the Pee Dee region reach their full potential.

WHAT IS SFP?

The Strengthening Families Program is an evidence-based family skills training program that brings parents, caregivers, children and teens together.

Families strengthen skills in areas such as:

  • Family communication
  • Listening
  • Positive parenting & discipline
  • Managing stress
  • Setting goals
  • Encouraging positive behavior
  • Problem-solving
  • Handling disagreements and conflict
  • Building stronger parent-child relationships
  • Helping children and teens develop positive social and relationship skills

EACH WEEK AT SFP

We Eat Together.

Each SFP night begins with a family meal.

We Learn.

Parents and caregivers participate in their own sessions while children and teens take part in age-appropriate sessions.

We Come Back Together.

Parents, caregivers, children and teens come back together for family activities. This gives families an opportunity to practice what they have learned, communicate with one another and enjoy time together.

Each weekly session lasts approximately 2½ hours.

WHY JOIN SFP?

You don’t have to wait until your family is having problems to work on making your family stronger. SFP gives families dedicated time to:

  • Talk more.
  • Listen better.
  • Handle conflict.
  • Manage stress.
  • Build trust.
  • Set goals.
  • Laugh. Learn.
  • Spend time together.

There are also family activities, incentives and special celebrations throughout the program.

At the end of the program, families who successfully complete SFP are recognized during a special SFP Graduation Celebration.

11 weeks can make a difference that lasts much longer.
